Pathways to Recovery

About Pathways to Recovery ACT

At Pathways to Recovery, we believe in a whatever-it-takes approach to empower your recovery from within. To achieve this, our team provides psychosocial rehabilitative, recovery-oriented, intensive, community-based services to help you navigate the mental health system and take positive steps toward the things that matter in your life.

Services are designed using the Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) model and provided by a trans-disciplinary team of professional and paraprofessional staff such as: counselors, social workers, peer specialists, vocational specialists, housing specialists, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician's assistants, medical doctors, and alcohol and drug specialists.

In-Reach is a sub-component of Pathways to Recovery and works in conjunction with San Diego County Institutional Case Managers (CICM) to provide case aid services specifically focusing on Discharge Planning and Benefit Coordination for CICM clients residing in long-term care. At the time of transition to the community, the In-Reach Team will link the member with Telecare Gateway to Recovery, Pathway to Recovery or another San Diego County FSP setting that best meets the needs of the individual.
